Gary’s Great Escape
“Gary’s Great Escape” is a short animation of a fantasy themed, original 3D character/creature rig who is lovingly named Gary. The lovable little bug creature was designed with the idea that it could nimbly hop among large tree leaves and also has little stalks that can be used to fly. In this short, Gary can be seen exploring his surroundings in the forest before hearing something unsettling close by. Extending his stalks to prepare for flight, Gary narrowly escapes peril from a nearby dragon on the hunt. The character modelling, rigging, and animation was done in Maya. Gary’s shaders and textures were made in Adobe Substance Painter, and the renders were compiled and edited in Adobe After Effects.
